Super quick update

May 23, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Hey everybody! Just popping in to say hello and share some pictures. Progress has purposefully slowed the past couple of weeks due to some travel and other activities, responsibilities, etc. As you might have gathered by now, there is truly never a dull moment with us. Both a blessing and a curse, ha! Even yesterday, … [Read more…]

CSI: Colonial New England

May 5, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Well, it was bound to happen. We finally found bones! Eek. So I guess this means a slightly greater chance it may be haunted, right?  Those cool floors mentioned in the last post had to come up, which actually ended up being a good thing for several reasons. They really weren’t in good shape, are … [Read more…]

Back In Action

February 24, 2016 by porterbradstreet

*Edit/Addendum: I’ve realized that on the computer, images look fine. Sometimes, however, some images are upside-down when the post is viewed on a cell phone. On my end, there is no indication this is happening so I apologize! If anyone has any idea why it’s happening (or better yet, how to fix it), please shoot … [Read more…]

The Master Bedroom Master Plan

January 24, 2016 by porterbradstreet

I’ve dipped a bit into the Master Bedroom area with the previous post on floors but I thought I’d get into this space a bit more since it is one of my favorite spots in the house.  I think I’ve mentioned how this is in the oldest part of the building, which was truly built circa 1665 …and you can … [Read more…]

Still Pulling Back The Arrow…

January 21, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Sorry for the sparse posting! I think I actually started this post over the weekend. I can hardly get through typing a sentence before something pulls me elsewhere.  Although, to be honest, there’s not much to report over here this week. With a busy holiday weekend and Nick out of town, plus all of us fighting off … [Read more…]

House of Carbs

January 13, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Busy week with Nick preparing for a short trip and a bug hitting our house. Alas, we have still gotten some work done and have been literally chipping away at the project that is The Back Of The House. I just wanted to mention that this area of this type of house is called a … [Read more…]

And so we begin…

January 8, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Thank you everyone for such encouraging and positive feedback! After going back and forth about doing this, I am glad I decided to go for it. Again, it is so weird to be putting ourselves “out there” in this way; however, being out of your comfort zone is supposed to be a good thing, right?! With … [Read more…]

Hello world!

January 5, 2016 by porterbradstreet

Okay! We are live. Eek. First things first – I am not a writer. I am sure that is already quite clear. Secondly, I am also not usually very public. So this is a new, somewhat intimidating place to be. But this will be fun. Or funny. Probably funny for you, and mildly terrifying for … [Read more…]
